Email Alias or Vanity Mail Alias

An email alias or vanity mail address allows you to personalize your Rice address. Your NetID automatically assigns you two email addresses: your NetID address and your official address (usually your full name). You may create up to three email vanity aliases. All addresses deliver messages to your NetID email account. (Learn more NetID: Creating an Email Alias (also known as Vanity Email Address)
